Compared to a full flight, it is only.
Compared to the terrorist attacks in India, it is only.
Compared to the number of people killed on Britain's roads EVERY DAY, it is only.
Compared to the number of people who die in developing countries every day of entirely preventable diseases, it is only.
You want me to go on?

a dozen people die a day on the commute into Bombay, on average.
Not that that means anything but just thought I would chuck that in.

I believe you are 50 times more likely to be killed on Indian roads than making a similar journey here.

What has to be borne in mind with that statistic is you not do many journeys in this country with a drunk cabbie with no lights on in a tiny British car made in the fifties with people sleeping in the road.
